During an interview in 2021,Julianna Margulies discussed how she worked hard to be able to pursue theater without financial constraints, which led to her choice to turn down NBC’s astounding $27 million offer for two more years on ER. She’d already planned out the end of her character’s story arc and had a year’s worth of work planned out.
Margulies noted in an interview with The New York Times that another reason for departing ER was her desire to safeguard her character from later story revisions.
She believed that when her character was not partnered with George Clooney’s character, she became overly focused on sexual connections, which contradicted the study she had done to portray an only kid.
She was depressed about the trajectory of her character and the decreasing complexity of her part.
Margulies’ decision to leave ER drew criticism, but she stayed firm in her decision, explaining that she was prioritizing her progress as an actor and honoring commitments she had made to playwrights and directors.
